Natural fires are necessary for the environment, but the City of Austin manufactures them instead.
The City of Austin annually sets controlled fires to support biodiversity and improve groundwater.
But people do live here, and wildfires would threaten our way of life, so we take measures to prevent them. "Prescribed fires have a lot of different roles, but generally they're seen as a benefit to biodiversity and to the resilience of a natural area," said Kevin Thuesen, who manages water quality for the city.
Thuesen said city staff meticulously plans how and when each fire will happen — taking weeks to train on how to control the fire, factoring in the weather and estimating the fire's effects.in Bastrop State Park last year, which burned 812 acres and forced families to evacuate. Thuesen said to ensure something like that doesn't happen in Austin, the city surveys the environment they're burning and is mindful of the kind of fuel they use.
